This could be fun....
Bozeman, MT 59715 - downtown (1 mile from I-90, walking distance to restaurants, bars, shopping, etc...)
Any VW van/bus that you plan to sleep in is welcome for a night or two. My dog is friendly with other dogs and kids - yours should be too. I have two kids (5 and 6mos), so no raucousness please. I rent 1/2 of a nice duplex with paved parking well away from our VERY quiet street. My neighbors are cool. I can offer access to: a cute little fenced in yard, electricity, water, use of our bathroom when we are home, a fire pit and chairs (you get wood), a neighborhood auto mechanic with knowledge WBX's and many conversion types (It'll cost ya though), and good conversation over a beer, including advice on the area and fly fishing. I have some tools too, and there are a number of knowledgeable owners around here.
Cheers,
Ryan

Go Bobcats! I used to live on South Black. Glad to know there is a VW friendly driveway in the Bozone!

We're in Vancouver, BC.
I've got a two car heated garage with washroom if you need a place to stay, or to fix your old van  . A fenced in dog friendly yard. Beer pays your rent .

That was a good time, and you really helped me out getting my PS hoses whipped into shape. Pleasure was all mine.
I've also hosted Photogdave several times as well as a few drive-by's, Rich-LovemyWesty, BitterBeerFace, The Bumfuzzle Clan..... just to name a few.
Anyone passing through PDX area is highly encouraged to post up to the PDX thread in my sigline. We love out of towners stopping by.

It's been in the Camping Essentials: Places to Go/Camp & Gear to Take sticky since this topic was started: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6253311#6253311 . We have "collective" stickies in this forum so that we don't have a wall of stickies taking up the entire first page (also, announcements are important stickies that are pinned to the top of the sticky group, so that they stay at the top instead of being mixed in with all the others). I highly recommend taking a moment to peruse all of the announcement stickies so that you know what's in 'em.

As mentioned, there has been a list like this for years at the Type2.com's AIRS site, a great tool. This one (although Vanagon-specific) seems redundant, and though I hate to add to the confusion I'll post anyway...
I have a nice camping spot just 30 minutes north of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Available to any VW that makes it here (and there are a good number of them every year). Camping spot under the trees with its own bathroom, wifi, etc.

This list is not redundant if one doesn't use the other references. I rely and use The Samba.com exclusively and don't know other sites.

Tools, creative advice on repairs, some parts, water, electric. Driveway possible, beer is good, rum is better, wife likes wine. Small house on the intracoastal with pool maybe a boat ride.
PM for info. Email would be quicker.

Okay, so I'm not in Downtown Phoenix anymore. But I still want to support any travelers out there.
I'm now located in Easthampton, MA just off the I-91. I have a quiet driveway you can crash on with a view of the Manhan river out back. Still have the tools and room to work on anything if you're in trouble. Thanks,
Eddie
